  1. I didn't understand why he was taking his time on that last posession.
  2. I was about to mention the very same guy. Groves and Avila are definitely more skilled than most BIg 12 and SEC bigs, but there's a risk of getting the destroyed on the boards for both of them. And with so much ball screen action in these leagues they either force their teams to play an inordinate amount of zone or risk getting killed on ball screen actions repeatedly throughout the game. That being said, they typically excel in tournaments and one off games because they're not scouted to death like they are in conference games. Although he's much more athletic than both Groves and Avila, Grant Nelson struggled in a similar fashion this past season in the SEC. His rebounding #s were essentially cut in a half where he went from a DR% of 26.7% in 22-23 to 17.3% this past season in the Big 12. And much like I mentioned above about skilled bigs like these guys excelling in the tourney, Nelson was arguably Bama's best player as the importance of the tourney games increased.
  3. DBs on this level don't repeatedly get burned by 20 yards because they suck. This happens because theyre confused on what theyre supposed to be doing.
  4. Hate to say it but Rod Babers routinely questions what the DBs are looking at and diagnosing out in the 2ndary. He questions their basic understanding of fundamental aspects of the position which leads me to believe that he questions the coaching their receiving. Someone like Brooks, whose Dad is a DB coach himself, would be just the player to bolt if his Dad feels he's receiving inadequate or conflicting directions.
  5. The main guy I wanted to check out was Dalton Knecht and I swear that both Rivals and 24-7 changed their rankings because they were more inline with Sports Grid and On3 when I looked it up earlier this season. Even The Athletic had him in the lower teens if not the 20s.
  6. A lot of the time the guy on the receiving end of those backdoor cuts this past season was Brock and he was unwilling to even attempted contested layups when he was down there.
  7. This would be interesting to compare to last year's list of the same range of rankings.
  8. Go check out where Dalton Knecht was rated in last year's portal. I believe he was in the mid 30s and he turned out to be easily the best transfer this past season. Also we were in on arguably the 2nd best transfer last season, Cam Spencer, but he waited so long to jump into the portal that we had no chance of getting him due to Hunter coming back.
  9. That's definitely what it is, as well as managing relationships in a new recruiting terroritory we don't have much history in. Nonetheless the point remains that Brooks was the better player from the jump. And I believe Blue is as well, but I'm admittedly making this judgement off of what I saw from an injured Baxter last season. So we'll see.
  10. And yet still started over Brooks over the first few games.
  11. I'm just responding to the comments telling me I'm a dumbass for thinking Blue is better than Baxter. They probably had similar views on Baxter vis-a-vis Brooks last year.
  12. Say what you want, but despite starting Baxter over Brooks it was clear as day that Brooks was the more impactful RB. And once again this offseason Baxter is getting outshined by the RB who will surely back him up to start the season.
